New focusrite driver 4.14.0

 Thanks for the heads up, but it looks like it does not cover my 1st gen 18i8. Bummer.

How do I determine which generation my 18i20 is? I don't want to assume it's first generation....

You may have to check with Focusrite (when the 2nd gen came out vs. when you actually got yours).
 
My 2i4 is definitely 1st gen as I got it a few years back and the 2nd gen of this is much newer. Speaking of which, just last week I started using 2nd gen drivers on my 2i4 as the recommended drivers (1st gen) were continuously dropping out.  
So far, they've been rock solid.....no issues.

So far so good. I believe the latencies are a little lower. I probably should have written the old ones down though so I could actually compare! The control panel is different yet again. There are only two drop downs. One for bitrate on for buffer. Gone are the playback and recording options from the 3.2 beta drivers.

Funny.

After further testing... I seem to be getting lots of crackles and pops when there were none before.

Weird...had these issues with the 3.2 beta.
The 4.14 2nd gen is very stable for me so far.

Well...spoke too soon...back to square one. Just got some pops and a dropout with 4.14.0. at 128 - 3ms (Small enough project, 2 vsts and 5 audio tracks)
I reverted back to 2.5.1 but whenever I try to change the buffer size in the Asio panel, I get an error message and get kicked ouf of Sonar. First time this happens with that specific driver.
I must have tried every driver that was released for the 2i4 with no decent results.
Normally, I should easilly get by with 128 -3ms with an i7 PC.

I've been using ASIO drivers (Win 10 version 4.12.0) for the past 2 weeks without any problems whatsoever. My unit is 1st generation.
 
Have you guys tried 4.12.0?   

Yeah, I did. Got some glitches at the very first listen.
Just curious, what ASIO settings are you using?
 

Awesome , thanks !

Not a problem....let me know when you can. In the meantime, I will reinstall 4.12 and give it another shot.

Thanks, Mesh.
Glad your system is stable with this driver.
I run at 44.1 - 128 samples and still getting random audio engin stops.
My issues are now worse than ever. I'm now back to the old 2.5.1 driver again, which was the most stable recently. But yesterday, new project, nothing recorded yet, I just opened monitoring on a track and the engin stopped. This is getting worse every day. Not sure how or where to start to try troubleshooting this. Everything looks A1 on the LatencyMon, but something is obviously affecting the audio flow.
Any pointers from you guys would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm having the same issue slyman... I'm going to rollback to 2.5.2 I think.

Lol...I actually just rolled back from 2.5.2 to 2.5.1...!

Well, if nothing else, we have options!

p.s. Go HABS Go

Will start looking for a new interface....tired of this sh***t

P.S. Go Leafs Go? :-)

RSMCGUITAR

Thanks slyman.
